  7 Fun Things to Do With Your Dad on Father's Day Father's Day is quickly approaching. Unlike last year, when most of us were confined to our homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we should be able to go out, meet Dad, and have some fun participating in Father's Day activities this year, with restrictions lifted and social distancing rules relaxed. We have activities that the entire family can participate in, as well as some ideas that allow dad to relax on his own. 1.Scavenger hunts  If your father enjoys games, mysteries, and history, a scavenger hunt might be just the thing for his special day. Professionally organized games can be found on websites such as cityhunt.com, cityscape.com, and Riddleroutes.com. You can also find entertaining free printables to use while walking around your neighborhood. Most scavenger hunts take place in cities, so this is a great idea if you live near a major city or if your father is willing to drive. These hunts are a great way to bond wit...

  7 cool facts about snakes Unfortunately, many people still misunderstand snakes. As a result, we've compiled a list of seven reasons why we believe snakes are amazing creatures worthy of our protection. 1. They have a large family. According to the most recent count , there are 3,789 snake species, making them the second most numerous reptile group after lizards. They are classified into 30 families and numerous subfamilies. There are approximately 140 of them in Australia. 2. They are "solar-powered," meaning they are entirely dependent on external heat or light sources. Reptiles are sometimes labeled as "cold-blooded," but this is incorrect because their blood is not cold. The correct term is ectothermic, which means their body temperature is variable and controlled by external factors. Reptiles, unlike mammals and birds, cannot regulate their body temperature internally and must rely on heat sources such as the sun to warm up. 3. Not every snake lays eggs. ...

Paper telephone Everyone sits in a circle and writes down a simple phrase (such as "My dog is chewing a bone") in this paper-and-pencil version of the telephone game[1]. They then hand over their paper to the next person, who is tasked with drawing the phrase they have been given. When everyone has finished drawing, they fold their paper to hide the phrase and pass it to the next person. The process is then repeated: the third person writes a description of the drawing, the fourth person d...

  Playing Games Online has Become an Important Social Lifeline Playing video interactive games, and later computer games, has been a big part of people's lives since the early 1970s, with the introduction of Pong and gaming consoles (such as the Magnavox). But games have come a long way since those early days. People of all ages are now playing online games all over the world. According to the BBC , while many people think of gamers as people who sit alone on their couches and are anonymous to other players, the opposite is actually true. The rise in popularity of video games, particularly among Generation Z, has resulted in the formation of communities and friendships among players. During these times of social distancing and lockdowns, these connections have become a social lifeline. While TV and Netflix help people pass the time, there is no interaction between people like there is in gaming, and the amount of time people spend playing has increased significantly during the pand...

  5 Two-Player Games for the Game-Loving Pair Two-player games are a great way to keep yourself entertained on a road trip, spice up a date night, or simply have fun with a friend. These games are ideal for a couple because they require a combination of creativity, strategy, and quick thinking. So get your partner, sister, brother, mother, father, or friend together and start gaming! 1. GHOST IN A NUTSHELL : Alternate letters to form a word with your partner. WHAT YOU'LL REQUIRE: If necessary, a dictionary to double-check if a word is real or correctly spelled. WHERE TO PLAY: Two people alternate saying a letter, and then they start spelling a word together. The key is to work toward a real word, but you can't finish a word or you lose. Because two- and three-letter words do not count, the first three moves are "safe," and only the fourth move can result in a loss by completing a word. When a player loses a round, he or she receives a "G." Then you play on...
